Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work The Riva degli Schiavoni looking south-west towards the entry to the Grand Canal, the Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute by William James was sold in the Important Old Master Paintings auction at Christies in New York in January 2000. The »bidding war« ended at USD 85,000.00 (€ 87,116.94), 21% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by William James - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Bucintoro Returning To The Molo On Ascension Day, Venice, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 325,000.00 (€ 208,761.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Riva degli Schiavoni looking south-west towards the entry to the Grand Canal, the Dogana and Santa Maria della Salute von William James wurde im Januar 2000 in der Auktion Important Old Master Paintings bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 85.000,00 (€ 87.116,94) und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von William James mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Bucintoro Returning To The Molo On Ascension Day, Venice beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 325.000,00 (€ 208.761,56) versteigert wurde.
